About this map

The Rifle River winds through the heart of this Michigan landscape, cutting through the Omer Plains and the Tittabawassee River State Forest. The area showcases a transition from agricultural land in the north to industrial and educational hubs in the south, notably the Deep River Gas and Oil Field and the Standish & Sterling High Sch. Small community centers are anchored by landmarks like Knights Mill and the Melita Ch, while the Penn Central railroad corridor provides a clear transit axis across the southwestern portion of the sheet.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds including Clayton Cem, Plains Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The map illustrates a well-developed network of rural roads such as Main Street Road and Sterling Road, reflecting the 1960s settlement patterns before major modern development. Waterways like Big Creek and Soverine Creek drain the surrounding townships, defining the local topography and boundary lines.
